Hi all,
Fairly new to linux and having some problems troubleshooting my internet connection.
For some reason I can't get to the outside world and it's driving me nuts. I
can't ping anything outside my localhost. I'm running a static IP address:
IP: xx.xx.128.149
Sub: 255.255.252.0
Gateway: xx.xx.128.1
Confirmed with my ISP that those are correct. I've assigned DNS settings properly and
confirmed on another machine that the Gateway, DNS servers are working.
Here is what I've done:
1. Reinstalled Fedora Core 5
2. Turned off the firewall and SELINUX
3. Tried a different network card with same result.
Am I missing something here? Is this some weird DNS issue?
Any help would be great
thanks
Could you also post a description of your network topology? Something like:
(ISP) <-> Your Router <-> Possible switch or hub <-+-> The linux box
|
+-> Box that works
Mainly, just need to know which box does NAT or if you're swapping
cables so only one box is on-line at any one time.
Cheers,
Dave
